British Foreign Policy Explained London — In both Houses of Par­ liament laid down the broad lines of its foreign policy. Amid Government cheers, the policy was upheld on a show of hands in the House of Com­ mons, without formal division. It is a policy of non-intervention in Spain, a policy which declined to give a prior guarantee to go to war in defence of the independence of Czechoslovakia. But while in the House of Commons Prime Minister Chamberlain declined to give such af guarantee, he added words of deep significance which went far to meet critics among his own followers.

Both are big, impressive cars, and thor­ oughly modern in appearance. Both have ■ the famous Centre-Poise Ride, Ford Easy- Action Safety Brakes, and the other dis­ tinctive Ford features. Both bring you the basic advantages of the 85-horsepower Ford V-8 engine. V-type 8-cylinder engines were used only in expensive cars before Ford made them available in The Universal Car. Eight cyl­ inders give great smoothness and flexibility. Compact V-type construction leaves more room for passengers and luggage. Both new cars are economical to operate. Economy has always been a Ford tradition. The facts of Ford V-8 economy are con­ firmed by the findings of owners, who report 22 to 27 miles per gallon of gasoline. Value- is also a Ford tradition. Both cars, in proportion to price, repre­ sent true Ford value. The De Luxe costs slightly more than the Standard but pro­ vides extra style. De Luxe closed Sedan body types have considerably more passenger room and luggage space. More people bought the 1937 Ford V-8 than any other 1937 make. It was a good car. But these are better cars, because Ford, improvement goes on constantly.

' • $34,000,000 Estimate for Defense Ottawa — A long-range armament policy has been perfected to preserve Canadian neutrality and defend Can­ adian coast lines, ports, terminals and trade routes from Aggressors, De- fenece Minister Mackenzie told the ’House of Commons. The annual de­ bate on defence polities opened when the first item in the $34,000,000 arm­ ament appropriation was reviewed in .the House of Commons. It represent­ ed a decrease of $2,000,000 from last year. Canada, the defence minister emphasized, has given no commit- mitments to other nations regarding war. The money being voted was for ’defence of Canadian territory and Canadian waters, particularly on the Divorce Bill Sent Back to Committee Ottawa—Unexpected opposition to the diovrce ’bill of Senator Lendrum McMeans (Con., Winnipeg) developed in the Senate, and the measure failed to receive third reading. The upper Chamber divided on a motion to give the bill a six-months’ hoist, which would have had the result of killing the measure this session. The motion was defeated by a vote of 37-26, but so much opposition was shown to some of the provisions of the bill that subsequent motion to refer it back to the Divorce Committee was accepted. .H-V HURON MOTORS, WINGHAM FORD SALES AND SERVICE ■i i 1 i I KITCHEN gloom CHASERS May Be Baltic Bloc of Nations Warsaw — Two lines of fortifica­ tions stretching for 875 miles along the Russian-Polish frontier and sep­ arated only by a strip of “no man’s land” became a key factor in nego­ tiations for a bloc of Baltic States.
